How to Pass the Meta Intern / NG Interview for 2025
Overview
This is a very quick aside to the Meta interview, as an updated guide to a previous post.
Structure
Meta Leetcode rounds comprise of 2 questions: one warm-up (usually a medium question) and one “actual” question (usually a medium to upper medium).
The LC rounds are structured such as:
The first question should take you about 10-15 mins
20-25 mins for the second question
5 mins at the end to ask your interviewer questions + maybe 1-2 mins buffer in the beginning for introductions.
As an intern your round is: 1 LC round
As a new grad your round is: 2-3 LC rounds + 1 behavioral round.
Tips:
If your initial introduction is going on too long (rare instances I’ve seen this happen) just say, “Sorry to interrupt, just b/c we are low on time, maybe we can start a question for now, and move this conversation to the end of the interview?”
Meta’s Rubric:
Meta really does focus on:
Communication
How well do you explain and communicate
Analysis
How well do you frame the problem, pro / con, time complexity
Logically able to walk through it
Coding
Clean code
Write fast
Able to test your code
B/c of this, follow the coding template:
How to Study:
Study the top questions on Leetcode for Meta’s question, or join the Paid Discord, instructions in the table of content, in order to get access to Meta specific curated questions.
We have 108 curated questions that are NOT JUST LC 100 questions but rather curated questions most commonly asked by Meta.
Conclusion:
Meta’s interview is focused a lot on speed and accuracy. With 2 questions per round, it can be intense, so it is very important to answer in a prepared manner.
